Beautiful Home

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in La Jolla. This property is so close to the beach. At night it’s so nice to open the windows and listen to the waves crash against the beach. The house is spacious and clean. It’s beautifully decorated and very warm/inviting. We had a great time!

Perfect location for a fun girl’s week

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Surf’s Nest. It has been beautifully renovated while keeping the mid century design of the house. It is a very short walk to the beach to watch sunsets or have a picnic while soaking up the sun. La Jolla and Bird rock are both close to the home. It takes about 10 minutes to get to Highway 5 to go to other areas of San Diego. The traffic is rough between 4-6:30pm so plan around those times.

Beautiful house w/ great location!

We loved our stay at Surf Nest! Centrally located near shops and restaurants, walkable to the ocean. Clean and well kept, beautifully appointed and comfortable. Our kids loved all she games and we loved hanging out on the pool deck. The owners gave us all the info we needed up front and had lots of great recs for places to eat nearby. Now that we’ve fallen in love with La Jolla, we’ll be back!

Better than in the pictures

It's way better than in the pictures. Very happy with the house. The location is great. A quick walk to WindadseaBeach, quick drive to La Jolla Cove. Really central in San Diego itself. Great communication. It has everything you need, The pool was too cold to swim in due to some unusual cold front in San Diego in winter, which is to be expected, but kids had fun anyway.

Awesome adventure in La Jolla

My family had the pleasure of staying at this lovely private oasis in La Jolla for 5 beautiful nights! Perfect location! My family enjoys walking and it was great to go for an evening or morning stroll on the beach. We had fun on many of our scenic jaunts to explore the shops, museums and galleries in both La Jolla and Pacific beach. If you don't care for walking you can take advantage of the public transportation. There is a bus stop right outside the front door to take you to Old Town, the Seaport or even Coronado. You can easily purchase a PRONTO card online that you can use for public transportation to reach all the great attractions that San diego has to offer.The home is spacious, nicely decorated and offers very luxurious linens and plush towels. We didn't use the pool but it was nice to just sit by it to unwind. There are plenty of restaurants nearby but if you choose to dine in you'll be thrilled with the dream kitchen unbelievably stocked with top of the line appliances and cookware!My family made many wonderful memories at this lovely home and we all look forward to returning for another awesome adventure sometime soon! Thanks Melanie!!

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We love the Windansea and surrounding area and were so happy when we found this perfect Surf Nest just 2 blocks away. Not only was it in walking distance from everything we liked, it also a private pool, and a nice size yard so we can enjoy a garden and grow vegetables, herbs, and fruit trees.

What makes this property unique

We liked the older mid-century charm Surf Nest offered and decided to play it up. A few of the key furniture pieces you see in the home are actual mid-century pieces collected by us through estate sales, auctions, dealers, or antique shops.

Also, the majority of the art hung up around Surf Nest was made by the home owner with local seaweed from Windansea beach. The goal is to add to the collection with other local artists and would be available for purchase for those interested.
